With the

tremendous population explosion in the Atlanta region in

the last decade, the proliferation of ethnic restaurants

has started giving the region an urban feel.

One of the

biggest movers to the metro area has been Mexicans and

new Mexican restaurants are sprouting up on an almost

daily basis.

The newest

restaurant to sprout wings in Fayette County is Los

Toribio in the Fayetteville Town Center on south Ga.

Highway 85.

The

interior of the restaurant feels like Mexico. Bright

colors and a cute fountain with splashing water give the

feel of a Mexican plaza. The walls between booths are

high enough to provide a sense of privacy, but still

allow you a feeling of open space.

I was

amazed at how quickly the food arrived. It was served

piping hot. Be careful you don't fill up on the warm

tortilla chips and salsa before your meal arrives,

though.

The menu

features the traditional Mexican food we expect such as

tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas and fajitas.

For

dessert, the restaurant offers flan and fried ice cream

that can cure even the most ferocious sweet tooth.

Los

Toribio's servers are friendly and the atmosphere is

warm. Head there quick for a slice of old Mexico.
